child out of wedlock

Is it possible to find the father of illegitimate child born in a workhouse even though birth certificate has no father, only mothers name.

[ScouseBoy]

Extremely unlikely.  Almost impossible.

You don't say when or where the child was born but perhaps a bastardy (maintenance) order was made.

Born John steel gibson 1921 highfield workhouse Wigton
Mother Eleanor gibson b1886 d1933

Probably impossible to find anyway.... BUT will still try

As I said in your other post There will be no domestic servant records, your only hope is if there was a child maintenance order made under the Affiliation Orders Acts against the father at the local court.

 thanks! I'm posting topics everywhere haha. Did read your other posts. Hopefully maintenence order was made so I can find him. X

It is not a good idea to keep posting topics on the same person without giving links to your earlier posts.  It means people could be duplicating information you have already been given.

I found the father of my illegitimate grandfather (born 1889) by finding the baptism record. There was no record of him on the birth certificate but I read that often the parish would insist on the father being named so that he could take responsibility for the child if the mother died or became destitute. I found the baptism record and there it was, father's name. Hope it works for you.
